In Chania, Greece, police made ten arrests following a reported gang rape involving a 17-year-old Greek girl and a 16-year-old Bulgarian girl. The incident allegedly occurred around midnight, after the two had first gone to a room at a tourist accommodation and then moved to a house in Chania. According to the statements from the girls, the 16-year-old claimed she engaged in consensual sexual relations with an 18-year-old Bulgarian but stated she was under the influence of drugs.

The primary victim, the 17-year-old Greek girl, alleges that she was assaulted by five individuals, comprising a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old from Bulgaria, along with three Greek men aged 17, 21, and 27. The involvement of a 17-year-old, who is said to have recorded the assault on his mobile phone, adds a troubling dimension to this case. All five suspects face charges related to rape, and the severity of the situation has prompted widespread attention in the local community.

This incident raises significant concerns regarding the safety of young people and the prevalence of drug use in social situations, particularly in tourist areas. The legal proceedings that follow will be closely monitored by both law enforcement and the community, as they seek justice for the victims and ensure accountability for the perpetrators. The involvement of minors in such serious allegations also highlights the urgent need for protective measures and support systems for vulnerable individuals, particularly those affected by crime.
